According to article 26 of Law 31/1995, of 8 November, on the Prevention of Occupational Risks on Maternity Protection, pregnant or nursing women are considered particularly sensitive workers, establishing a series of measures aimed at adapting the working conditions of pregnant or nursing workers.

1. What to do in case of pregnancy

1. 1. The corresponding medical certificate is filled in the health reports.

The following situations may occur:
